This Halloween will be a 1bn monster event thanks to the rise of the 'Boo box' - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"A viral TikTok trend that's set to multiply faster than zombies this Halloween is the rise of the 'Boo box', says the home delivery expert Parcelhero. Boo boxes have rapidly become a new Halloween 'tradition'. They are boxes or baskets filled with Halloween-themed goodies, from sweets and treats to toys, costumes and crafts. Halloween spending in the UK actually dipped last year, down from £1bn in 2023 to £775m in 2024."
"'There's not a ghost of a chance that Boo boxes aren't going to dominate Halloween this year. Kids are increasingly excited by the arrival of a package stuffed with wicked gifts. Family and friends will already be busy putting together fun selections of sweets, toys, decorations and costume accessories. So whether they are a grandparent, a friend or even a ghoulfriend, thousands of Brits will be preparing and sending a Boo box this October."
Boo boxes are boxes or baskets filled with Halloween-themed goodies such as sweets, toys, costumes, decorations and crafts. The trend has gone viral on TikTok and is rapidly becoming a Halloween tradition. UK Halloween spending fell from £1bn in 2023 to £775m in 2024, but the rise of Boo boxes is predicted to push spending back above £1bn this year. Boo boxes often feature spooky images and can include themed sweets, action figures, plastic pumpkins, costume accessories, crafts and glow-in-the-dark stickers. The US remains a much larger Halloween market, with shoppers spending $12.2bn in 2023.
